Presto Page manager works well for me in all but one area and that one area is intensely annoying.
While scanning multiple page documents it displays a modal "Scanning" screen followed by a modal "Progress" screen after each and every page that highjacks the focus regardless of what I am working on at the time.
When the scanning is finished, Presto automatically displays its main screen, again a modal screen with a copy of the scanned document, that crashes over the top of whatever else I have been doing.
This effectively means that I can't do anything else until the scanning has been completed, which in the case 50+ page documents is anything from 5 minutes plus.
I've looked through the Settings, Preferences and Options in preto Page Manager, but can't finds anything that suppresses this problem.
This is very disruptive and inefficient. Is there anyway of suppressing these pointless modal screens so that the scanning takes place totally in the background without forcing itself on me at every step?
I am running Windows Professional 7 64 bit on an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9400 with 8GB or RAM. I have associated my Presto files with .pdfs via Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. I have no other hardware or software problems.

The document feed rollers may be dirty/worn which is causing the paper to come into the scan area late causing your document cut offs. use a clean, lint-free cloth dampened (not moist) with water and clean the document feed rollers. Confirm they are dry then, try scanning multiple pages and see if they pull through without stalling. If they do, it's time to replace those rollers.

that should be because you scanned the pages separately, did you notice if the PDF document converted was the very last page of the 13paged document which you wanted to make a document from? if that's right, then you just only converted the last scanned page into PDF, to stick all the pages together, i recoment you treating them as images and using word to stick them all together with the "insert>image> from archive" adjusting the size of the image at 1 page and with each 13 pages do the same until you have a full document of 13 images in 13 pages then you can convert it into PDF

Open your Adobe Acrobat (e.g., 9.0 Pro), load your pages into the document feeder (fewer than 30 at a time), then ask Adobe Acrobat to create PDF from scanner (File/Create PDF/From Scanner). Canon MP530 as the scanner and click OK. Works like a charm!

Scanning a multi-page document as a .pdf file reverts the settings for rotation, selected area, etc. to default for any pages after the first page. This applies to Mac OSX 10.3, 10.4, & 10.5. A simple, but tedious work-around is to scan each page as a separate file and easily recombine them using OSX Preview. Just open the first page, view the Sidebar, and drag-drop the additional page files into the sidebar. Save and it's all one multi-page .pdf.

The 4550 will not allow multi page scanning into a single doc using the provided software. You should try another scan software that is TWAIN or WIA compatible. Those should work okay if you are using a USB connection.

What do you mean scan? Is it from the printer to the computer? Or just plain copy? When you want to scan to the computer, you need a software that can scan multiple pages. HP's document feeder can copy and fax multiple pages, so if the software supports multiple pages scanning, then I'm sure it can.
